Keep Your Eyes on the Skies. Psalm 1:1-6

Psalm 1 NKJV
The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Remember when we were kids watching Westerns on TV (probably in black and white)? It was easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys. The guys in the white hats always won. The guys in the black hats were always the bad guys, they always lost.
It's not so easy today. Things aren't black and white anymore. And it will only get worse as we head toward the end times.
In Luke 21:28 we are told "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
That's what we are to do, keep our eyes on the sky, keep our eyes on Jesus. Walk in the way of the righteous and whatever we do will prosper. We can't stumble on the path of the wicked if we are following our Lord. 
So when in doubt on which way is right, when unsure on which way to go, look up and follow the Lord. 
Blessings, Cecilia
